25...... and counting...

[Paul in NZ]

25 years married today....

25 years officially married, together 27...

25 years ago we barely understood tomorrow let alone a quarter of a century...

25 years of respect, happiness, tears, companionship, toil, laughter, fun, family, trust, lust, pain and always love! I fell for her the second I clapped eyes on her and despite the normal ups and downs not a day has gone by that I don't still get a lump in my throat when I see her just so... Regardless of what the future brings, as nothing is assured, I count myself a lucky lucky man....

Love does exist in the world folks, (apart from automatic washing machines). It needs to recognised and fed but it rewards the gardener many times over... I hope you all find what we found!

Cheers Vicki! Looking forward to the next 25 years...

[Joni]

As always, so much respect mate!!

:drinkup: <= to the next 25.

[Unit]

Wow, congrad's alright, come on guys, its OK to reply to mushy stuff, practice makes perfect, this guys a master by the looks. Hope your day was superb :not:

[Sensei]

Excellent to hear Dude . It's getting harder to keep Partnership's together these days . Roll on another 25 :done:

[Skunk]

Respect and Congratulations! :niceone:

[madboy]

Awww... ain't that sweet... thought you were gonna be gloating about 25 consecutive miles of reliable moto guzzi ownership...

Congrats to both of you (you and Vicki of course!!)

[WINJA]

COOL , YOU SHOULD CELEBRATE BY GETTING 2 WHORES AT THE SAME TIME

[skelstar]

Awesome Paul. Well put. Congrats.

[MacD]

Congratulations to you both! Here's to the next 25! :woohoo:

[Silage]

Excellent, Vicki and Paul. It is good to celebrate the good things. I have heard it said that the marriage experience gets better and stronger as time progresses (especially after the 7yr/10yr/12yr...itches). We are about the same number (26).

Many more happy years together.

[Big Dave]

Nice work - same numbers as me and what's-her-name.

[Motu]

Cheap trick - I bet he sort leaves the computer on...on this page y'know....and while she is bringing him his cup of coffee - ''Oh,isn't that sweet,I didn't know you cared'....blah,blah,blah.Jeez,men are so bloody opake.

We are a year behind,but the same length of relationship - funny about the first look eh?....

[jazbug5]

Paul, you are so cute!

(I knew you'd love that.)

Seriously, you guys are my favourite pair of old wrinklies. Hope to be like you when I (finally) grow up.

[jazbug5]

Oh. Er. No-one is to mention the alternative meaning for 'pair of old wrinklies'.

But I'm going to leave it up for the humour value. *blush*

[Ghost Lemur]

Congrats Paul and Vicky. :niceone: :niceone:

[Str8 Jacket]

Congrats Paul! 25 years eh? If im not mistaken thats how old you bike is too? You guy's were married the year I was born, great year 1980! :niceone:

[Edbear]

Congrats, Paul on 25 years! My wife and I have just celebrated our 28th! Agree with your sentiments about marriage, yes we've had some rough times but I have to confess to being very happily married to a woman who flatly refuses to age! And we have 3 grown up children who make for a very close family! Though she prefers her air-conditioned steriophonic comfort these days, she supports my becoming one of those middle-aged returning bikers and encourages me to enjoy my old '89 GSX600F as often as poss.

[Paul in NZ]

Old Wrinklies..... froth gurgle (nurse - wheres me heart pills) gasp... Damn cheek of the woman... One should realise that a man of my spherical nature is most unlikely to have wrinkles. All nicely filled out thanks...

Any yes... That post was entirely aimed at avoiding an expensive card for Vicki....

BUT.... As more than a few of you have also noted, as time goes by we are settling into a very comfortable pattern of increasing respect and love (if these are the right words - probably not). I never would have thought this possible but it happens.

Trust me... I'm as surprised as anyone...

[Beemer]

Congratulations Paul and Vicki, 25 years married to the same person is a great achievement today. On Saturday we will have been married eight months so we've got a way to catch up! Mind you, if I had married at the same age as my mother, by now I would have been married for 26 years and have four kids and two grandchildren - shit, that's scary!

[ManDownUnder]

MATE!


That's the stuff of legend - :niceone: :not: and congrats!

Have one for me:drinkup:

[SDU]

:rockon: for another 25yrs! :drinkup:

[riffer]

Good on ya Paul and Vicki.

I'm heading for three years on the 23rd, but of course Gini and I are both re-treads. :niceone:

[vifferman]

Congratulations, Paul and Vicki! I'm glad you're so happy, and I understand everything you said, Paul.

Best wishes for the next quarter century! :niceone:

[calmone]

Congratulations to you both,it was a timely reminder for me,as we are up to 33 years in another two weeks. My child bride now wants her own bike so I guess thats the present sorted.I wonder what I might get?

[inlinefour]

congraduations. Can you send your misses to talk to mine by any chance?

[Al]

Congrats Paul and Vicki!
Awesome happening, to an awesome couple!

[Toast]

Getting married? Geez that's a scary thought...

[oldrider]

25 years married today...
Cheers Vicki! Looking forward to the next 25 years...
Just found your thread Paul. We congratulate you both on your 25yr milestone and wish you both all the best for next 25 and way beyond.
We really enjoyed your company while you were down here, looking forward to seeing you both again, sooner rather than later. Cheers Pip and John.

[Skyryder]

I know the feeling Paul.
Congrats to you both and hope the next 25 years is even better.
